Bonus Experience Until TuesdayFeb 17th, 2007 at 8:20 AM by Railus

A 50% experience bonus in place through to Tuesday morning at 10am Pacific Time. It's already underway: (as seen on EQLive)


February, 16, 2007

Greetings,

We hope that everyone is enjoying all the features that The Buried Sea expansion has to offer.  The team worked hard to focus on content and features that would enhance gameplay, while reducing the adventuring downtime in between.  If you haven’t tried it thus far, you can find information about the expansion here.

We would like to apologize for the inconvenience of the amount of server downtime that has occurred since the release on Tuesday.  To help you enjoy this weekend, we are turning up the heat!  Experience will be increased fifty percent on Friday evening and will remain until Tuesday morning at 10 am Pacific Time.

Enjoy!

~ The EverQuest Team

What all of you forget or fail to realize. Is that Sony is a publicly owned company. They have stock holders. They are concerned with market share to increase their profits. These expansions are being put out to not only develop increased market share. But make the stock holders happy. Remember the game Doom? They turned that into a movie..... Dollars for donuts, Sony is thinking that or will think that at some point.

What sony should really do is stop introducing new expansions every few months (i have yet to explor the last two), fix the current bugs (of which we all know there are many) and stop cattering to whiners...when an expansion is planned then they might as well plan on the servers being down for two days, not four hours.

Thinking about it this makes perfect marketing sense. You release a new expansion with new missions that give decent experience and then add a bonus 50%. Those of us that haven't bought it have to constantly hear how great the experience others with it are getting.

What I would like to see is the whole expansion process given a better timetable. If SoE released a launch date with an all day patch time, and actually announced the next 2 days as fix days with likely server down time. Then schedule the bonus weekend immediately after it.

Most players with sense didn't plan to do anything the whole week due to the patching. If you tell people the game will be down the best part of a week people will complain less when they find the servers locked. Simple.

No no no,, What they need to do is this: Quit making it so easy for newbies to get to a high level without trying. In my day we had to Learn to play our toon. Now these people come in from Ebay or Plat selling sites and think they own the place. I remember when people, almost everyone was a pleasure to conversate with, Greed has been introduced and the nice people are few and far between. Learn before you Burn. :)

I agree with you for most part. I believe it started mostly when MMs were introduced and alot of the great zones became empty wastelands.

MM, I assume you are meaning monster missions? Wasnt that like 2 years ago? I think what the original poster meant was that back before and around the release of Kunark, you had to earn your levels, and know how to play. The gameplay post POP, has catered to the end game, and getting the Bigger Better Stuff.

What they NEED to do is stop giving exp bonus days because people on the forums were whining about their OMG HORRIBLE extra 4 hours patching. They gave double exp that one weekend because of the lost time due to all the rollbacks. That was real lost time for some people, not this time you just can't log on.

That was a genuine problem, this is giving whiners what they want because they can't somehow understand that patching an expansion can take a few hours more than you thought.

How about free play? Exp is too easy as it is. How about a 2 day extension on all paid accounts
